Huevos Rancheros | This Is Why I’m Full

You might look at the title “Huevos Rancheros” and think it might be complicated to make these, but it really isn’t! It’s basically enchiladas made even simpler! We had to make our Huevos Rancheros with ground turkey because sad wife can’t eat red meat right now… But they were still delicious! I’m not really an egg person, but I do get a craving for a delicious fried egg every once and awhile, and these Huevos Rancheros are my personal favorite way to satisfy that craving! Surprisingly, with all of the different foods that my husband cooked before we met he had NEVER fried an egg until we made Huevos Rancheros the first time a couple of months ago! He didn’t succeed the first time he tried, he broke the yoke, it was a sad moment! But the second time he did it he made the beautiful egg you see above! When it comes to sour cream I love it… I know, not everybody does, but there’s something about hot food with a dollop of cold delicious sour cream that makes my mouth water! Sour cream cooling off your food as you eat it? Yes, please! It’s like tasty air conditioning for food!

Pizza Stuffed Waffles | This Is Why I’m Full

These Pizza Stuffed Waffles are so delicious and so easy to make! All you need is a waffle iron, a can of biscuits, some pepperoni and cheese. Sometimes you want pizza, but you don’t have time to make it from scratch and you don’t want to wait for delivery. So why make one of those frozen pizzas when you can satisfy your cravings with ease and less than $5?! I saw a recipe similar to this awhile back and we just had to try it! With both of us working 40+ hours a week it gets a little hard to find the energy and time to make food, and this delicious little recipe was a nice compromise between eating out and cooking from scratch! It has the taste of pizza without having to take the time to make/buy dough and it takes less than 5 minutes to cook! The hubby and I made them and they were so good that we made them 3 more times after that! So good!

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers | This Is Why I’m Full

How about a quick and easy recipe for a delicious and healthy meal? Sound like a plan to you, then Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers are right up your ally. These peppers are easy to make, the hardest part may be boiling the water for the rice or even cooking the chicken sounds pretty easy right? It is! We used a large butcher knife to cut the peppers in half and scraped out all the seeds because no one really wants to eat those. While at the same time boiling the rice in a large pot. While all this is happening put the chicken on a medium temperature and start to cook it. Don’t worry too much about making sure the rice is completely cooked and soft this will go into the oven for a final bake.

We’ve tested this recipe in large batches just to get rid of all the excess and “old” rice we had on hand, plus our local market had a sale on peppers so why not kill two birds with one stone? Since we did a large test batch of these you should know you can save them for later. All you need to do to make these a freezer meal is avoid the final step of baking them in the oven and wrap them up in your freezer. We thawed ours the night before we were going to make them and put them in the oven for the final bake and they turned out just as delicious as before! Happy cooking!

Bacon Big Bear|This Is Why I’m Full

So Big Bear… Most of my memories of summer camping trips with my family involve Big Bear. This is something my dad always makes, camping or as I got older on Sunday morning to help with the hangovers! My dad always makes it with sausage but the Hubby is a huge fan of bacon, have you noticed? Anyway, Bacon Big Bear is my way of bringing my husband into my childhood! (Spoiler alert, he loved it and you will too!) Let us know what you think of our Bacon Big Bear and comment below with any questions/suggestions!

Bacon Beer Bread|This Is Why I’m Full

The Hubby and I go to this awesome Bacon and Beer party every year for a friend’s birthday, this Bacon Beer Bread was originally supposed to be a part of what we were bringing to the party but it was so delicious that we ended up eating all of it in the couple of days before the party after we made it, oops! But it’s okay, we had already planned on bringing some Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies so our friends didn’t know what they missed out on! There is always next year (fingers crossed!) This bread is sort of sweet, which I wasn’t the hugest fan of, it tasted more like dessert than anything else to me! So I think next time we make it I will have the Hubby cut out the sugar!

Simple Chicken Enchilada|This Is Why I’m Full

This is a simple and delicious recipe for a Simple Chicken Enchilada, don’t let the picture fool you it tastes better than it looks! I’m guilty, sue me, I love Americanized Mexican food… And how American is this! Take a traditional dish and turn it into a delicious casserole!! I love the convenience of making casseroles, they take half the time that it takes to properly make rolled enchiladas. My Dad was the first person I ever saw make enchilada casserole, and with six children I can’t blame him! Can you imagine the time that it would’ve taken to make enough rolled enchiladas to feed a large family, no thank you!

Chicken-Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip|This Is Why I’m Full

I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet, but I have recently become addicted to jalapeno cream cheese… I have a problem. I try to find a way to put it in everything I make… But this Chicken-Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip is a meal that I came up with when I was looking for something to make for Dan’s friend Luke’s Bacon and Beer birthday party. I found a recipe for Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken (that I ended up making just for dinner one night, I came up with Poor Man’s Poppers for the party) and I thought that this might be better as a dip, it took me a couple of days to figure out exactly what the best way to make this come out the way I wanted it to. And it was worth the time I spent thinking about it because it came out great. It came out a little spicy so I wouldn’t use both the jalapenos and the jalapeno cream cheese, but other than that it was awesome! We ate it with some Ritz crackers (and by we I mean me, Dan ate his with a really big spoon!) Anyway, it was really good!

Rotel Chicken Casserole|This Is Why I’m Full

Yum, yum, yum! This recipe can be made in multiple ways: stove top, oven, or in a crock pot! Crock pot dinners are my favorite things to cook, why wouldn’t you want to make something that you have to put in so little effort! Putting all of the ingredients into one cooking pot and just letting it cook itself?! Amazing! Dan and I used chicken breasts instead of tenders, and it worked well, we are thinking of adding bacon next time, shocking, I know. We used cream cheese instead of yogurt and that was an okay substitute. I also don’t like Fritos, so we didn’t use those as a garnish.
